Some people in england still have a noble title like dukes princes?

Answer 1

Sure, and not just in England. In Europe today there are only ten monarchies left:

The Kingdom Belgium,
The Kingdom Denmark,
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
The Principality Liechtenstein,
The Grand Duchy Luxembourg,
The Principality Monaco,
The Kingdom of the Netherlands,
The Kingdom Norway,
The Kingdom Spain,
The Kingdom Sweden.

And there are still others in Asia and other parts of the world.

And before Princes Diana was Princes she was Lady Diana.

Answer 2

UK does indeed have Royalty and an aristocracy. To simplify matters, the system by which UK operates is called a "Constitutional Monarchy". The head of State of the UK is Queen Elizabeth II. Her son, HRH Prince Charles is also known by the title of Prince of Wales.

Immediately below the Monarch in terms of rank are the Dukes. The highest ranking duke is the Duke of Norfolk also known as the Earl Marshall. In addition there are a number of other high ranking dukes - the Duke of Devonshire etc.

Below the rank of duke there are the Earls. The late Princess of Wales, Diana's brother is an Earl.

Below the earls are the lords, then the barons and knights.

This is a rough guide to the ranking system.

MONARCH
DUKES
BISHOPS
EARLS
BARRONS
KNIGHTS

In terms of who governs the UK this is in the power of the House of Commons. The people of UK elect members of parliament [MPs] who then debate the issues in the chamber of the House of Commons. You can view these debates on the BBC Parliament channel on line if you cannot get it on cable etc.

UK is a vibrant democracy in very much the same way that is the case with USA or any other major democracy.

The fact that UK has a monarch and an aristocracy does not give these people power. The real power in UK resides in the House of Commons.

The upper chamber of the UK parliament is called the House of Lords. It is still a largely unelected chamber but this is being sorted out so that eventually it will become fully elected by the people.

A Bill is created and read in the House of Commons. This is then passed to the Lords for a reading during which amendments may be made to the Bill. It then goes back to the Commons etc.

UK has a parliamentary system of government and not, as in USA a presidential style of government. The monarch [the Queen] has no say in running the country. Her function is more ceremonial but she can [in theory at least] disolve parliament if the need should ever [unlikely] arise.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Yes there are. Ranges run from The Right Honourable (Lowest) up to Prince / Princess
Most titles do not mean much to most people in the UK unless they are a Duke or above.
Numerous Politicians when they go to the Lords are Barons or Lords
Also the religious area have titles as well and sit in Royal company
Then of course there are the Ambassadors, Court Judges, Chief Constables, Lord Lieutenants and Naval Lords to add to the growing List of nobles within this country.

Answer 4

Yes, they do. There are over 1000 members of the peerage (dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts and barons - not the ranking Clive gives you), as well as the royal family. There is a distinction between royalty and aristocracy. The poster directly above me is wrong about dukes and earls - most of them have no family connection to royalty.

Until 1964 the crown used to create hereditary titles every year, but since then it has only created five. Even before that, dukedoms were rare. None were created in 20th century outside the royal family though Churchill was offered one and refused. New titles created today are only for life. Until 1999 all members of the peerage (except those who only had Irish titles) could sit in the House of Lords, but now it is only the life barons and 92 hereditaries elected by their fellows. Only one of the 25 or so dukes now sits in parliament.

With hereditary titles no longer being created, and sexist rules remaining in place which allow women to inherit them in only a few cases (Scottish titles and the very oldest English baronies) they will eventually become extinct in 200 years or so.

Answer 5

Prince is the highest title you can have if you're not the King, a prince is always a member of the Royal Family. A Duke is also usually a member of the Royal family but not always, the same goes for an Earl.

Answer 7

NO BRITISH NOBLE call in any understand could be offered or bought, in any way in any respect. era. Many web content declare they are in a position to sell you a call yet they're all, truthfully, mendacity. the only techniques you are able to become a Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount or Baron are: one million) inheriting the call from an ancestor or 2) HM the Queen arising the call and bestowing it on you. one ingredient you're able to purchase is the Lordship of a Manor. those are an out of date style of land suitable, and being merely a chew of sources, no longer a "call of dignity", could be offered and purchased. yet, possessing the lordship of the manor of Piddletrenthyde does not entitle you to call your self "Lord Piddletrenthyde", to any extent further than being landlady of a beach guesthouse might entitle you to call your self "woman Seabreezes", or than being a pub landlord might entitle you to call your self "Lord coach and Horses".
